'''GLENKINDIE'''. AKA - "[[Glenkindie's Reel]]." AKA and see "[[Lord Alexander Gordon]]." Scottish, Strathspey or Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is "[[Lord Alexander Gordon]]", a strathspey attributed to William Marshall, but first published by McGlashan and the Gows. The circumstances of the name change are not known. There is a ballad about one "Glenkindie," a harper, who has the power to induce a whole company to sleep, save for his lady-love:
<blockquote>
''He harpit a fish out o saut water,''<br>
''Or water out o a stane,''<br>
''Or mild out o a maiden's breast,''<br>
''That bairn had never nane.''<br>
</blockquote>
To his surprise, however, the charm is turned against him by his serving-man, who also happens to be smitten by the lady, and he harps his master asleep instead (Sanger & Kinnaird, '''Tree of Stings''', 1992).
